geek code n. also "code of the geeks". a set of codes commonly used
   in sig blocks to broadcast the interests, skills, and aspirations of
   the poster. features a g at the left margin followed by numerous letter
   codes, often suffixed with plusses or minuses. because many net users
   are involved in computer science, the most common prefix is `gcs'. to

   is a sample geek code that of robert hayden, the code's inventor from
   that page:

  -----begin geek code block-----

   the geek code originated in 1993; it was inspired according to the
   inventor by previous "bear", "smurf" and "twink"
   style-and-sexual-preference codes from lesbian and gay newsgroups. it
   has in turn spawned imitators; there is now even a "saturn geek code"
   for owners of the saturn car. see also geek.
